Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

Pelvis Parsley

Having a kid with needs is a license to behave like an unmitigated narcissist.

Its the quietly coping families who just get on with it who I feel sorry for.

Sad voice incoming

Oh crumbs

Atlantic Dawn

Bow Mount.

That’s a large tumour

Atlantic Dawn

Around de size of a golf ball, not pleasant stuff.

Atlantic Dawn

No parts to even order, cut, cut, sow, sow, fixed, good luck and good night.

Aphasia, looking for words, and then grabbing onto the wrong ones.

Hector Savage

Christ this is grim, this is an actual medical emergency .... disgraceful ...

"I am not a conspiracy theorist" --- I think your safe your not advocating not taking the vaccine, stopping wearing masks etc.... you want more testing etc ... though if your able to work from home and if you are so worried why not keep your kids at home? ....

Dan Jaman

Jeez, sounds awful.

Dempo1

Did her mum say the daughter is a practicing barrister 🤔 awful situation.

Atlantic Dawn

The health service was never good.

Dempo1

Sounds like a priority to me

Healthcare has certainly not kept up with population increase and modern treatment options.

It’s not quite a matter of a bed in Beaumont, it’s a place in theatre, specialist neuro ICU etc.

cozar

If she’s not a priority then the people who are must be really ill.

Atlantic Dawn

Sometimes health insurance isn't worth a flying fook.

Health insurance has nothing to do with this case

Dempo1

Seems with insurance involved, daily rates being charged, hospital not in any rush, cynical I know but this is grim stuff

Certainly not when it comes to the ultimate… a brain tumour.

I feel very sorry for her, and hope things work out as well as possible, but a government minister is definitely not going to be able to fix things for her.

KaneToad

Measured, calm, reasoned caller. Hope they get a speedy resolution.

Dan Jaman

More addictive than smack, my arse.

KaneToad

No need to smoke at hospital doors. The severity of your addiction is your problem. Don't make it everyone else's problem.

Ah jaysis, two weeks is a start, but you’re not there yet unless you are extremely committed to the long term.

I don’t think he is.

Furze99

Excuses, excuses, excuses.. that's all you hear from puffers. Cut out related health care for them, to back of any queue and they'd soon wise up.

Atlantic Dawn

It's particularly funny when someone hits pension age and circa 50% of every cent of income they get is spent on cigarettes, mind boggles.

Stop thinking of the addiction as being severe or you’re on a hiding to nothing. That kind of thinking will actually stop you giving up. It’s entirely doable to quote if you are in the right frame of mind and you have thought it through.

Dan Jaman

"Right?"

"RIGHT!"
